Canyon Day is Here!

After a long spring and short summer it is time to get back in those woods we have all found salvation in- and give back.

Come celebrate Reed’s oldest active tradition Canyon Day!

This bi-annual event is helps protect and restore the canyon’s natural vegetation to improve the habitat for urban native wildlife. Join your community members in planting native trees and shrubs on Saturday, October 8th from 9a.m. to 3p.m.

Canyon Day is free and open all. Tools, Training, Food, and Fun provided.

Wear weather-appropriate clothing and bring gloves if you have them. Join us near the Studio Art building at the eastern end of the canyon.

The canyon provides a natural haven for reflection and recreation for all members of the Reed community. Canyon Day gives us an opportunity to come together and help sustain this urban wilderness- a tradition that’s been going strong since 1920.

The best time to plant a tree was 50 years ago, the second best time to plant a tree is now.

We hope to see you there.
